Key Ipperwash witness killed in highway crash
By Kate HARRIES,
Page A2
One of the most eagerly anticipated witnesses: at the Ipperwash
inquiry -- Ken
DEANE, the police sergeant who shot aboriginal
activist Dudley
GEORGE -- has been killed in a traffic accident.
Mr. DEANE died early Saturday afternoon in a winter storm pile-up
on Highway 401 near Prescott, in Eastern Ontario. A passenger,
a 38-year-old man from Albuquerque, N.M., was extricated by the
local fire department and was in stable condition at Brockville
General Hospital.
Mr. DEANE, 45, of Sudbury, was declared dead at the scene after
his Ford Explorer was rear-ended by a tractor-trailer unit at
around 1: 15. News of his death came as a shock to participants
at the Ipperwash inquiry, where Mr.
DEANE's testimony in the
next few weeks was eagerly anticipated.
"Dudley's family and I were stunned by the news," said lawyer
Murray KLIPPENSTEIN, who acts for the George estate.
Then a sergeant, Mr.
DEANE was one of a group of Ontario Provincial
Police tactical rescue unit snipers who provided cover when the
riot squad was deployed against a group of unarmed aboriginals
who had occupied Ipperwash Provincial Park. Mr.
GEORGE was shot
in the ensuing confrontation on the night of September 6, 1995.
Mr. DEANE testified at his trial in 1997 that he saw muzzle flashes,
and then a man with a gun who took aim at police. But an officer
who was standing near him testified that he saw no flashes and
the man who was shot was holding a stick.
In finding Mr.
DEANE guilty, Mr. Justice Hugh
FRASER rejected
the notion that Mr.
DEANE had an "honest but mistaken belief"
and found that Mr.
GEORGE was unarmed when he was killed. He
said Mr. DEANE had concocted his evidence "in an ill-fated attempt
to disguise the fact that an unarmed man had been shot."
Mr. DEANE was convicted of criminal negligence causing death
and sentenced to serve two years less a day in the community,
as well as 180 days of community service and no house arrest.
He unsuccessfully appealed the conviction to the Supreme Court
of Canada. He was ordered to resign from the force in January,
2002, after pleading guilty four months earlier to a charge of
discreditable conduct under the Police Services Act.
Mr. KLIPPENSTEIN said it's not clear what Mr.
DEANE's answers
would have been at the inquiry. "The evidence that the inquiry
has brought out has changed the picture dramatically… it's extremely
questionable that the tactical rescue unit team should have been
at the park at all."
But the lawyer said that the loss of Mr.
DEANE's evidence will
not affect the inquiry's ability to get at the truth of what
happened.
Commission counsel Susan
VELLA agreed. The inquiry will still
have the benefit of the sworn evidence Mr.
DEANE gave at the
criminal trial, she said yesterday.
Mr. DEANE, who was married with no children, is the third officer
involved in the Ipperwash standoff to have been killed in a motor
vehicle accident.
Inspector Bill
LINTON, who was the incident commander on the
night police marched on the park, died in a car crash in 2000.
Sergeant Margaret
EVE, who attempted to negotiate with the occupiers,
died on duty in 2000 on Highway 401, hit by a bank-robbery suspect.
